We cannot foresee the end. 1t is doubtful
how the Republicans viii vote unon the
question of election. They may desire to
keep the question open for their own bene-
fit
This is the way the question looks to a
disinterested Democratic paper outside of
our State, paper that no faction Of the
Democracy in West Virginia can charge
with any other design than desire to
build up the party. "Surely it would be
the part Of wisdom for the Legislature to
elect Senator SO that whether the Senate
decided the question involved the one way
or the other, the State would have two
Senators to see after her interests" Can
the Republican members of the Legislature
place themselves on record as making it
possible for West Virginia to be rep
resented by but one Senator? Can
tine anti-eaucus Democrats afford to make
such record? Can Mr. Lucas or any
other Democrat in the State afford to con-
tribute toward such q result?

Not Prnperly Represented.

10 he Editor Of he Register.
Our country has been flooded with
speeches made by Lucas and Price, made
during the session of the Legislature,
Their object WAS to cultivate public Senti-
ment in favor of the twelve kickers. Now
this was indeed 4 good way to bring the
matter squarely before the voters. The
subject of Camden and anti-Camden has
been thoroughly discussed by our local
politicians rs we'll as by the solid business
element. The Democrat has taken sides
against Mr.. Camden, aud our Representa-
tive, Major Harding, voted contrary to
what might appear to he the sentiments
of his constituents; but allow us to say that
from the best We can gather quite
a large majority of the Demo
Gratis OF Tucker county are to-day fol
the reelection to the United States Senate
of J. n. Camden. And in the event the
Legislature ut the called session takes mp
the Senatorial question We believe that we
speak only the sentiment of the solid and
true Democracy OF Tucker county when
we say to our Representatives to vote as
they did vote and they will do our service.
II to call on the Democracy Of Tucker
county TO say who they would send to the
Senate, it would be with one voice Hon.
w. l.. Wilson, and their second choice
would be Camden. ii. l..

Now, Mr.. Editor, look at that list and
say what you think OF it. Could any one
but Gov. Wilson and H. S. Walker get NJ
such a list under all the circumstances!
To me il looks Us if our Republican friend,
and the kickers are one, notwithstanding
the growls of the IRtclHgeHcer. There dom

Senator PRICE respect the wishes Of his
constituents and the usages of his party.
The resolutions are Democratic. Follow

in constant state of disorganizatiOn and
invite defeat. The Democracy Of Wetzel
can always be depended upon and who
ever aspires to represent it should bear in

1.-THE WEST VIRGINIA MUDDLE.'
The Richmond Dispatch of the eth inst.
contains the following excellent editorial
with the above caption:
On Tuesday last Mr.. Beckwith, the
anti Camden candidate for the House OF
Delegates in Jefferson county, West Viz
GINA, WAS elected over . Republican by a
majority OF about 4OO-One-third of the
usual Democratic majority. But, as the
vote was a light one, and the Camden
Democrats had no candidate in the field,
the result does not indicate great deal rs
TO the real condition of things in West
Virginia.
Mr.. Beckwith goes to the Legislature
committed to the proposition that that
body will have no right to ill the vacancy
in the United States Senate OcCIlsiOned by
the expiration of Mr. Camden's term-a
prepOsterOus proposition. And, stranger
than all else, he is represented rs baSing
his eOmmittal upon the fact that the Con-
stitution Of West Virginia provides that
at an extra session the Legislature shall
shall do nothing hut consider the business
submitted tor ITS action by the Governor
i'm his proclamation converting the body in
extra session. This contention il on y par
with the pretenSe that q State constitution
can override Federal law; for the United
States statute ON the subject II so clear
upon the question Of the duty Of the Leg
islature to elect that we do not understand
how there can be two opinions ON the sub
icct. II says:
"Hheaercr, on the meeting of the IegiS'
l4ture OF any State vacancy exists in the
representation of such State in the Senate,
the Legislature shall proceed on the second
Tuesday after meeting and organization to
elect a person to fill such vacancy,
II the Legislature of West Virginia fails
TO elect United States Senator at the extra
session to begin on the Goth instant, there
will he a question raised as to her right "a
have any Senator before the meeting of the
Legislature in 1889; for the United States
Senate has again and again refused to seat
persons appointed by the Governor after
the Legislature had had an opportunity t.
elect and had failed to do 50. We do not
know that the United States Senate would
refuse to seat Mr.. Lucas for that reason;
but surely it wOuld be the part of wisdom
for the Legislature to elect q Senator, 81
that whether the Senate decided the ques
ton involved the one way or the other, the
State would have two Senators to see aftel
her interests.
Suppose Mr.. kenna were TO resign to-
day; would 1t not he the duty Of the West
Virginia Legislature to elect at its eXtrs
session, 10 begin on the Goth, person Il
MI the vacancy thus OecasiOned? Their
can hardly be doubt that it would be the
duty of that body to do SO.
Mr.. Beekwith goes to the Legislature
pledged also 10 vote for any nominee Of
the Democratic party except Camden
Himselfa nominee, elected as the regular
Democratic candidate, he refuses 10 allow
Mr.. Camden the benefit of those party
usages which he employed in his own be
half
Altogether, the case is novel one
